Reviews
Doc prescribed this for my severe sinusitis. First day was amazing, could finally breathe again. But man, the second day I was bouncing off the walls at 3 AM. Couldn't sleep a wink. My heart was racing like I'd had ten coffees. Taking it with a big meal helps a bit, but the insomnia is no joke.
Been on this for my rheumatoid arthritis for about 6 months now. It's the only thing that lets me get out of bed without crying. The trade-off? My face got so round, my own mother didn't recognize me in a photo. Also, you HAVE to taper off slowly. I tried to stop once and the joint pain came back ten times worse. Pro tip: take it first thing in the morning to lessen the sleep problems.
Took this for a bad allergic rash. Rash cleared up in two days, which was fantastic. But then the mood swings hit. I snapped at my kids over nothing and then burst into tears. Felt like I was on a hormonal rollercoaster. Would only use it again for a real emergency, not for something minor.
My lifesaver for asthma attacks. When I feel one coming on, a half pill stops it in its tracks. But the hunger... oh my god. I eat everything in sight. Gained 5 kg in the first month. Now I make sure to have healthy snacks ready because you will get hungry no matter what. Worth it to be able to breathe, though.
On it long-term for an autoimmune condition. You learn the hacks. Always take it with food, never on an empty stomach or the heartburn is brutal. I split my 0.5mg pill sometimes if I'm having a good day, but only with doctor's okay. The moon face is embarrassing, but it's better than being in constant pain.
Prescribed for Bell's Palsy. It worked incredibly fast, my face was back to normal in a week. But the energy surge was unreal, followed by a massive crash. Felt super anxious for a few days too. Weirdest side effect: constant metallic taste in my mouth. Glad I only needed a short course.
I use it for my chronic hives. It's the only thing that works. The problem is the withdrawal. If I forget a dose, the itching comes back with a vengeance. I feel like I'm dependent on it. Doctor says it's a 'rebound effect'. Trying to find a long-term solution that isn't a steroid.
Took it for a severe ear infection. The pain was gone in hours, which was a miracle. But it messed up my blood sugar. I'm pre-diabetic and my readings shot up. Had to be really careful with my diet while on it. Not something to take lightly if you have blood sugar issues.
